História, memória e identidade quilombola no cariri-cearense (comunidades sítio Arruda- Araripe e Carcará-Potengi).

Abstract

This assignment will go deep in issues little debated in the local historiography, absences attributed to an alleged "invisibility" of the black in Ceará lands. I consider that it is a wrong perspective. The black population needs to be seen in Ceará beyond its status as enslaved. Misunderstanding discourses such as "Ceará land of light", or "In Ceará there are no blacks", contributed to shortcomings in studies of the contributions of black populations in Ceará and, consequently, in the Cariri region. In addition to challenging this regional historiographical production, the study seeks to strengthen the black presence in the region of Cariri Cearense. The assignment is based on Oral History and Comparative History, based on the interpretation of national and local institutional documents, data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE, National Institute Of Agrarian Reform and Agrarian Reform-INCRA, Cariri-GRUNEC Black Valorization Group, Technical Identification and Delimitation Report (RTID), photographic collections, associate's books, educational documents such as LDB, DCN, School Rules, Annual School Work Plan Maria Virgem, with emphasis on the oral reports of local leaders. Under the influence of the identity concept of sociologists Stuart Hall (2014) and Kabengele Munanga (2012) and pedagogue Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2013), I make an analysis of the constituent components of the quilombola identity, based on a comparative study between two black communities Rural areas in the region of Cariri Cearense, Sítio Arruda in Araripe, and Carcará Community in Potengi, which is in the process of titling. Although this theme has gained visibility through academic centers, there are few historiographical studies of comparative bias.
